JOE_JFK_1290_JP_small.jpgI'm 40 years old (July 2012), but people I meet at the airport these days don't believe I've been photographing at JFK since 1986! Here I am at the old IAB (now Terminal 4), December 1990 with 3 beauties behind me, Air France Concorde, UTA (France) DC10 and Air Afrique DC10. Forgive my awful cargo attire from those days...

VARIGLOG_DC10F_PP-VMU_MIA_0108_JP_small.jpgI uploaded this photo on this day because yesterday, Varig Log ceased operations... Too bad.

FEDEX_DC10_JFK_0112F_JP_small.jpgVery special photo. Fedex DC10 departs rwy 31L as the new Freedom Tower is seen under construction on the bottom right. It's not the World Trade Center that's for sure, but it's nice to at least see something there now... -oh, as i'm taking this photo, the temperature with windchill factored in is about 12 degrees. Brutal.
